EVMS Psychiatry Undergraduate Medical Education courses
First Year: Human Development (required; second semester)
The course is designed to provide the student with a broad overview of human development from birth to death.

The life cycle will be examined longitudinally along specific developmental themes as well as cross-sectionally by developmental periods.
Course Directors: Kathrin Hartman, Ph.D. and Maria Urbano, M.D.
Second Year: Psychopathology (required; second semester)
The course designed to provide the student with a general overview of psychopathology. Material presented, in conjunction with information learned in Human Development, should prepare the student for the clinical demands of the third and fourth years of study.

what would cause backround noise (hiss) to come from the speakers when the preamp (hafler dh-110)
is turned on, but there is nothing playing? thanks.
"The symbol is not the reality"
got an eq in the chain by chance?
nope--got rid of that loooong time ago, gary; per your advice.
"The symbol is not the reality"
A slight hiss from the tweeter(s) when you are a few inches away from them is not unusual.
'Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
Is this a new issue?
Does it happen regardless of the selected input?
Can you hear it from your chair?
Can you hear it during quiet passages in the music?
Depending on the answers, it can be normal, or something has gone bad.
you can only hear it when you're close to the speakers, when there isn't a cd or lp playing.
"The symbol is not the reality"
I would not worry about it unless its really really bothering you. Like Jesse said, that is fairly normal in my experience. For example.....my Infinity RSIIIa's with EMIT tweeters. When hooked up to a M504 and PL 3000 II preamp. I hear a 'little' hiss. Same speakers hooked to an Onkyo 6.1 AVR....dead quite. You are probably hearing that from you preamp I would think.
EDIT: Does that preamp have tone controls? If so are they set flat when you hear the hiss? Does it have a pure direct mode? Not familiar with that preamp. I sorta always considered Hafler gear as pro gear. I am probably showing my inexperience saying that though.

All good suggestions, I might add to check your cabling, clean all contacts. Do you have a power conditioner ?
It may be coming from the Pre-amp or the Amp. If its a low hiss that may be "normal" for the gear you have. Try a line conditioner. If you have one try a ground lift at the end the conditioner.
If the hiss is very low and you can only hear it coming from the tweeter with your head a foot or two away I would ignore it. that's not an issue. but if you can hear this hiss from sitting distance, its an issue.
2CH Setup.
Rotel RC-1550
Rotel RB-1070
MIT AVT2 Interconnects
Make a shorting plug out of a junk box RCA interconnect. Cut the interconnect to about a 6 inch length, strip the insulation from the center conductor and the shield. Twist the center & shield together. Connect this to the amp input. Does this hook-up have noise?
You're probably just hearing the "noise floor" of your associated equipment, if it requires that get right up to the tweeter.
Source: Squeezebox Touch/CIA Power Supply
DAC: Benchmark DAC/PRE
Linestage: Placette RVC Passive
Power Amp: Parasound HCA-1500A
Speakers: Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 Monitor
Subwoofer: SVS PB12-NSD
My preamp does this at well, but I have to turn it up quite a bit without any music playing to hear it. It's normal in my preamp, and normal in a lot of other units depending on the design.
thanks for all the info. I appreciate it.

With a 4-3 win over Spring Creek in its back pocket, Sparks was tied with Lowry 7-7 in the fifth inning.
The Buckaroos had the bases loaded with two outs and Tyler Brumm at the plate, who went 1-for-5 in the game. That one hit just happened to be a grand slam as Brumm's shot to left field carried over the fence, handing the visitors an 11-7 lead.
Lowry went on to win 11-8 after the Railroaders added one run in the bottom of the seventh. Jared Longland singled to lead off the inning and Tyler Crow knocked him in with a double to opposite field in left field.
Lost in the shuffle was Longland's performance at the plate. The catcher went 4-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Crow had two hits in the loss. However, walks and errors proved costly for the home squad.
"We gave it to them. We fought hard early in the game, but walks and errors just killed us," Sparks baseball coach Greg Vasko said. "We just have to get back to work on Monday."
Sparks scored first in its crossover league clash with Lowry Saturday afternoon.
Keiffer Putman reached base on a fielder's choice that could have been a double play had the ball not been bobbled at shortstop.
Putman then moved into scoring position on a wild pitch and Longland drove him home with a single just inside the third-base line for the initial 1-0 lead after one inning of play.
That slim edge didn't last long as Lowry plated a pair of runs in the second inning.
A single by Michael Arenas, a fielder's choice and a walk loaded the bases for the Buckaroos.
No. 8 hitter Tytin Johnson singled softly through the right side of the infield, driving in Arenas. However, the ball was mishandled in right field, allowing a second run to score on the play.
But that just seemed to wake up the Railroaders.
In the bottom half of the second, Sparks batted around and took a 7-2 advantage with a six-run rally.
Pitcher Travis Dulgar helped his cause with a leadoff single. A walk and hit batsman left the bases juiced with one out.
Leadoff hitter Austin Garrick hit a grounder that deflected off a diving third baseman's glove. The ball ricocheted away from the shortstop, allowing two runs to come home on the infield single for a 3-2 Sparks lead.
An error enabled a run to score and a sac fly by Putman made it a 5-2 ballgame. With one runner on and two outs, Longland put a charge in the first pitch he saw and deposited it beyond the left-field fence. The two-run homer capped the rally and left the Railroaders with a 7-2 lead after two innings of play.
When Dulgar took the mound in the top of the third, he didn't have his best stuff.
A walk, infield error and another walk loaded the bases with no outs. It didn't get better for Dulgar, who beaned and walked the next two batters and saw his day come to a close with his team leading 7-4.
With the bases still full of Buckaroos, Dustin Alexander came on in relief of Dulgar. Alexander almost escaped the inning unscathed after inducing an infield popup and striking out the next batter, but a wild pitch with two outs chased home a run. Alexander went on to strike out that batter, keeping Sparks in front 7-5.
The first four frames didn't decide anything after Lowry rallied for two runs in the top of the fourth to tie the game at 7-7.
A walk and error put two runners in scoring position. A passed ball brought home the first run and then Arenas knotted the game with a double over third base that squirted away from Putman.
Jesse Studebaker picked up the pitching win, working six innings. He gave up seven runs but none scored after the second inning. He finished with five strikeouts, two walks and two hit batsmen.
In the first game Saturday morning, Sparks watched Spring Creek push across two runs in the opening inning, but that didn't leave the hosts discouraged.
The Railroaders started the bottom of the second with back-to-back hit batsmen. Dulgar singled in a run and Sparks got another on a bunt by Mac Green as part of a three-run rally that gave the Maroon and Gold the lead for good.
In the fourth, Collin Ray doubled and scored on a Brandon Coleman single for an insurance run that proved to be the game winner after the Spartans tallied one more in the top of the fifth.
Carter went the distance on the mound for Sparks. He allowed five hits and walked five while striking out eight for the win.
The Railroaders finished with six hits in the game. No one had more than one, and Ray's double was the only one that went for extra bases.
With the split, Sparks sits 7-4 overall and 4-4 in league play.

Wembley calling for 12/13 Champions League
- 21 May 2012 14:55
- Posted by Tim Oscroft
The Champions League trophy is just settling into its new home at Stamford Bridge, but thoughts are turning to next season's campaign.
Wembley will host the Champions League final on Saturday, 25 May 2013 and City will be dreaming of following up their Premier League title triumph with a serious tilt at the prestigious competition.
The road to Wembley begins in the first week of July with the first of three qualifying rounds, followed by a play-off round before the draw for the group stages is made in Monaco on Thursday, 30 August.
One or two familiar names will be striving against the odds to make it to the promised land of the group stages. Welsh outfit The New Saints played the first competitive game in the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003 under their previous guise of Total Network Solutions in the UEFA Cup.
Red Bull Salzburg faced City in the Europa League two years ago, but this time around they have another crack at the elite competition thanks to their recent Austrian Bundesliga title triumph. Should they progress far enough and be drawn against City, we could see the return of Alan, the Red Bull striker who became a cult figure with City fans after his appearance against the Blues in 2010/11.
City's pot placement will not be decided until all direct qualified teams are confirmed by UEFA in mid-June, but mcfc.co.uk will stay across all the possibilities and permutations as we get closer to the group stage draw.

Feral cats: Are they ruthless killers or down-on-their-luck homeless?
By Dave Gathman firstname.lastname@example.com February 19, 2013 4:14PM
Article Extras
Updated: March 21, 2013 6:20AM
EAST DUNDEE — Feral housecats. The familiar Felis domesticus kittycats who have left civilization behind and started living back in the wild, often in informal colonies.
Are they adorable pets just down on their luck — the Homeless Harrys of the pet world — deserving our every sympathy and help, as the people at Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin believe?
Or should we see them as vicious killers and despoilers of the environment, so threatening to endangered bird species that one legislator in New Zealand wants to ban all cats from that country?
To help settle this debate, the East Dundee-based Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation has commissioned a scientific study about the impact of feral cats on the ecology. The project is being supervised by Dr. Stanley Gehrt of The Ohio State University, the same wildlife biologist who two years ago studied the number, lifestyle and impact of coyotes in the Chicago area.
Gehrt could not be reached this week. But Charlie Potter, president of the McGraw Foundation, hints that the study is concluding that the impact of these wild cats is far more malevolent than that of the Chicago area's bigger and more malevolent-looking, but far less numerous, coyotes.
When our beloved kitties go homeless, the same abilities to stalk shrewdly, climb trees and see through the night that we applauded in the living room make them a bird's worst enemy.
Billions killed
"We have hundreds of thousands of feral cats now in Illinois. Sure, they might eat a barn mouse occasionally. But mostly they're living on ground-nesting birds, especially pheasants and quails," Potter said Sunday on his Chicago-based radio show "The Great Outdoors."
Another study, written by biologists from the Smithsonian's Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, was published this month in the journal Nature Communications. By reviewing and collating 21 smaller studies done recently, the authors concluded that cats kill 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds in the continental U.S. each year. That works out to about five to 12 birds for every American man, woman and child.
The study also concluded that from 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals — mainly mice, shrews, baby rabbits and voles — are killed by cats annually. This suggests that the wild cat's main menu remains rodents. But not as many people are wringing their hands over the death of a few billion more mice. Historians believe that killing vermin was the main reason humans started keeping cats in the first place.
The Nature Communications study is part of a three-year Fish and Wildlife Service-funded effort to estimate the number of birds — especially members of endangered species — that are killed by predators, by chemicals and by collisions with wind generators and windows.
"Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic (manmade) mortality for U.S. birds and mammals," the authors conclude. "Scientifically sound conservation and policy intervention is needed to reduce this impact."
They estimated the U.S. now has 30 to 80 million "unowned" cats — about one for every four to 10 humans.
Bye, bye bobwhite
Locally, Potter blames an increasing number of feral cats for all but eliminating that one-time favorite of Illinois hunters, the bobwhite quail.
Potter said bobwhites used to be found in large numbers all over Illinois. He said Prairie State hunters shot twice as many of them as they shot pheasants, and one hunter could get 25 in a day. But now, he said, the bobwhite is almost impossible to find because of two changes: Rather than leaving brushy areas and undeveloped areas around their fields, farmers tend to plant crops from fence to fence. And more and more feral cats are roaming the countryside.
"There is nothing worse for a bobwhite quail than a cat somebody dumped out of their car," Potter said. "Changing agricultural practices played a role. But mostly it has been predators. Bobwhite quail cannot thrive in an area without nesting cover, where they're exposed to predators, especially raccoons and feral cats."
Hawks and doves
How to solve the problem? Proposed solutions range from the New Zealanders' drastic proposal to ban even housecats to capturing and either "putting to sleep" or adopting all feral cats.
At the other extreme lie the folks at Anderson Animal Shelter, whose approach could have been dictated by a four-footed, orange-furred lobbyist.
When feral cats gather around the shelter's building along Route 31 in South Elgin, they find doghouse-like shelters where they can shield themselves from the winter wind. The shelter's employees and volunteers even set out bowls of cat food for them to eat.
Anderson's approach to the feral cat is that they are a tragic and endangered problem whose pain needs easing, not a threat to genuine wildlife.
It is an approach probably echoed by many cat lovers, including accused "cat hoarder" William Tinkler of Elgin, who was arrested last fall for keeping piles of dead cats in his van and keeping at least four live cats in his reportedly filth-strewn house along Villa Street.
Neighbors say Tinkler also fed and played with dozens of roaming or homeless cats in his backyard. He is scheduled to go to court Thursday to face charges of violating the Dead Animal Disposal Act and animal-cruelty laws.
Neighbors said some contagious respiratory disease seemed to be spreading through the many cats who hung around Tinkler's yard. Potter argues that the spread of disease, possibly extending to pet cats and to wild animals, is another reason to cut down the feral-cat population as much as possible.
"I'm not really enough of an expert to say how much impact feral cats have on the environment. But I can't imagine it can be too drastic," said the shelter's executive director, Jack Graff.
Graff said that if Anderson staffers find kittens born to feral cats, they will take in the kittens and try to find a human to adopt them. But once a feral cat has grown to adulthood and learned the tough ways of the world from its mother, it is better off left in the wild, he said.
Graff sees pet cats and feral cats as practically two different species.
"A feral cat is different from a cat that grew up in a home. It has become a wild animal. It's very hard to get them to adapt to living in a house with humans again."
Unfortunately, Graff added, the reverse also is true. When someone tires of their pet cat and dumps her off in farm country or a forest preserve, "they don't do well," he said. "They don't have the skills to feed themselves. If they have been declawed, that's a big handicap in either hunting or defending themselves against other animals."
In between the pro-wildlife McGraw attitude and the pro-kitty animal-shelter approach lies the Humane Society of the United States. The society has long urged people to capture feral cats, neuter them, immunize them against diseases and return them to the wild.
That way, the society argues, the feral cat doesn't end up unhappily imprisoned in a human home he doesn't understand. Yet there is no need for a shelter like Anderson to either "put the cat to sleep" or find a human ready to adopt it in a world that already has more unwanted cats than people willing to take them.
Beyond that, the humane society argues, this approach actually could reduce the number of ferals and their impact on the bird world because the now-unable-to-reproduce released cats would continue to compete against their never-captured brethren for prey. Any female ferals who haven't been spayed would likely become undernourished and less likely to have kittens.
Graff said Anderson Animal Shelter used to capture, spay/neuter and release ferals when it had its own veterinarian on staff, but the shelter no longer can afford that. "However, a lot of organizations do trap and release cats, and we would encourage people to do that," Graff said.
Urged by the humane society and private groups such as Alley Cat Allies, some governmental bodies in places like Florida even license individuals or groups to work with colonies of feral cats on a trap/neuter/return basis.
Potter said that when the McGraw study is released, one conclusion will be that "the population of these cat colonies is transient," with individual cats constantly leaving and joining each wild band. "The idea of licensing cat colonies assumes that we can vaccinate and neuter them. But the science is proving that this assumption is not true," he argues.
The night stalker
Should a pet kitty be allowed to roam around outside, or perhaps even put outside all night like a comics-page cliche?
A 2003 study by the American Bird Conservancy concluded that only 35 percent of pet cats are kept exclusively indoors.
Graff believes there's nothing wrong with that. He would leave it up to the preference of the owner — and the cat.
Going in and out of the house "is not a problem" so long as the cat has been spayed or neutered, so he's not hooking up with other roaming cats to produce unwanted kittens, Graff said.
"But not all housecats want to go outside," he said. "At home, I have one who's always trying to sneak out. But the other has no interest in being anywhere but this safe, warm house."
But, Potter notes, an outdoor cat is different from a raccoon, skunk or fox, especially if she is a pet allowed to roam just part of the day or night. She was not originally part of the northern Illinois ecological system. And that bowl of Friskies you leave for her in the kitchen or outside the back door gives her a human subsidy, an unfair advantage over her rival predators and her prey in the war for survival called nature.
"For those of you who have cats, keep them indoors," Potter told his radio audience.
With no natural history as a part of Illinois wildlife and its fairly large size, felis domesticus also has few predators trying to eat it. But one other newcomer to Wild Illinois may offer some hope of evening things up. It's the topic of Gehrt's last research project for McGraw, the coyotes who have moved into our area by the hundreds from points west in recent decades.
Gehrt's researchers found that coyotes are glad to eat cats — both house pets and feral cats — when they can find one.

By Liliana Moyano for Shine Latina
Growing up in a country with access to a variety of tropical fruit was definitely a luxury. In the small town of El Rosal where I lived, we didn't have any major supermarkets, but we had several farmers nearby who gathered on Sundays to sell their organic, fresh greens. I usually accompanied my parents to the mercado and filled up the trunk with exotic fruits and veggies, a load which usually included 15 pounds of oranges to make fresh-squeezed juice every day. My dad made sure to taste the fruit before we bought the rest to see if they were ripe and ready to eat; he'd peel a tangerine and give me half, while my embarrassed mom felt obligated to buy 25 tangerines. Sometimes they had fresh coconut, and you could have a farmer break it open for you on the spot. What a treat! Fresh coconut water is so delicious and refreshing.
Once we had finished the coconut water, my mom would take the meat or pulp of the coconut and make the most amazing arroz con coco (coconut rice). Surprisingly, the key to this recipe, besides the coconut, is adding a whole can of Coca-Cola. It's like making regular rice, but instead of cooking it in water, you soak it in a blend of coconut milk and coke. It is usually paired with a fish of your choice and patacon pisao' (fried smashed plantains). Give it a try and invite your amorcito (or sweetheart) to a romantic and delicious dinner. Arroz con coco
(4 servings)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 oz. grated coconut
2 cups parboiled rice
12 oz. coconut milk (1 can)
12 oz. Coca-Cola (1 can)
½ tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 oz. raisins plus extra raisins for serving
Arroz con coco
Try this recipe with my coriander salmon
Preheat a pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and grated coconut, and let it cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice, coconut milk, Coca-Cola, salt and brown sugar. With a wooden spoon mix the ingredients until the blend becomes brown and the rice is completely soaked in the mixture. Let the liquids evaporate until the rice looks almost dry. Add the raisins and mix well. Cover the pot and lower the temperature to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes (don't open the lid, though). Remove the pot from the stove, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before serving. Top it with extra raisins, and serve it warm in individual bowls.

By John A. Byrne
(Poets&Quants) -- It was a March day in 2009 when several members of the senior leadership team at Emory University's Goizueta School of Business walked into the dean's office for an urgent meeting. Dean Larry Benveniste knew the news was bad.
"I could see the look on their faces," he recalls. "They had something to tell me I knew I wasn't going to like."
The school had fallen five places to 27th from 22nd the year before, its lowest U.S. News ranking in years. Only four years earlier, Goizueta had been ranked a solid 18 on the list.
"Oh my," Benveniste says he thought. "I knew this would be the worse because this was the in-between moment, and our focus would begin to pay off, and we would see better days ahead."
That is exactly what happened. The school has since bounced back to a rank of No. 19 on the U.S. News & World Report ranking. More importantly, last year no top 25 school did a better job of placing its MBA graduates than Goizueta. Some 91% of the class of 2012 had job offers by graduation and 98% had offers three months later, better than Harvard (95%), Stanford (90%), or nearby Duke University's Fuqua School (93%).
The school, moreover, has shown the largest growth in reported salary and bonuses among U.S. News' top 25 schools over the last four years and the only double-digit growth during that time: 18.6%. Average Goizueta MBA salaries rose to $103,463 last year from $91,074 in recession-plagued 2009, while average bonuses jumped to $25,549 from $17,710.
Behind the impressive numbers is a tale of a leadership team that made painful decisions to dramatically overhaul a school that by all surface accounts was doing just fine. When Benveniste arrived at Goizueta in 2005, succeeding Tom Robertson, who went to Wharton as dean, the school had just achieved its highest U.S. News rank ever (No. 18).
Beneath the numerical ranking, however, the new dean sensed trouble. The performance gap between Goizueta and schools such as Carnegie Mellon and Cornell was considerable, largely because Goizueta trailed those schools on placement stats and starting salary numbers. "I had sensed we reached a plateau with the existing strategy, and something had to change," says Benveniste.
A listening tour by the new dean, who had come to Goizueta after a stint as dean at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School, yielded other key insights. Recruiters and alumni felt the graduates coming out of the school could be better prepared to use analytical tools to solve business problems.
The school put together a task force in 2007 to survey recruiters, alumni, and students. "The need for more rigor in the curriculum jumped out from both students and recruiters," says Doug Bowman, a marketing professor and senior associate dean of external affairs who led the task force. "One sound bite from students was, 'During my summer internship, the company presented me with a list of eight to 10 projects, and I didn't feel comfortable doing all of them. So I was self-selecting out of the more rigorous ones.'"
From corporate recruiters, the school gained another telling insight. "They essentially told us, 'We are paying these folks a lot of money. A few years ago, we could have a honeymoon period to allow them to get up to speed. We could even do some retraining. But no more.'"
And then there was the issue of culture. Over the years, faculty had noticed that students were less engaged and less interested in the academics, instead viewing the MBA experience as a two-year job search. Similar issues have cropped up at other schools. Stanford, before more recent curriculum changes, had surveyed its students only to find that they believed their undergraduate education was more demanding than their MBA schooling.
As a first move, Benveniste moved to appoint a strong academic to run the MBA program. In 2007, the dean flew to Brazil, where half the class of 2008 was on an international excursion, to let students know that changes were coming.
"We pulled the Band-Aid off quickly, and it was painful," says Benveniste. "First of all, the sudden and intense focus on academics was a shock. We told students we want you to have fun, but alcohol is not the reason you are here. The class of 2008 was right in the middle of having one experience and then went to having a totally different experience. The class had just come in under one regime and suddenly was going to spend three quarters of their program under a completely different set of rules."
In the classrooms, the faculty upped the rate of cold calls, paid more attention to a grading curve that gave penalty grades to 10% of the students, and piled on more individual work rather than team assignments.
"We weren't going to let people hang in the back of the room anymore and not be deeply engaged," says Rob Kazanjian, a management professor and vice dean of programs. "And we reduced the group assignments so you would no longer get the most experienced people sitting at a computer and doing the analysis while everyone else looked over his shoulder."
The school asked professors to include a substantial data analysis project into every core course. "We made it a beefy part of the curriculum and the students' grades," says Bowman.
Some of the boldest changes, however, came as part of a new curriculum rolled out in 2008. Instead of starting off the MBA program closer to Labor Day, the school began its program in the first week of August -- a full month earlier -- and then ran its incoming students until mid-December. "What used to be a semester now became a semester-and-a-half worth of effort," explains Bowman. "We put the entire core curriculum into that first semester, freeing up the second semester for five electives before the summer internship." The idea was to ensure that Goizueta students, going out on their summer internships, would be ready to impress.
Surprisingly, the faculty agreed to the changes -- including coming in to teach the core in early August -- with little major debate. "I anticipated it would be an issue," concedes Maryam Alavi, vice dean for faculty at Goizueta. "I thought people would say, 'My God, you are getting me started on Aug. 1? What about my vacation?' But I did not hear any complaints. They really stepped up."
The faculty also used recruiter feedback on students to make changes in the classroom. "A marketing professor here attended a recruiter feedback session before starting his fall course, and he actually adjusted his curriculum plan because of it," says Wendy Tsung, associate dean of Goizueta's MBA Career Management Center. "He wanted to make sure he was teaching what the market needed."
The school has seen dramatic results after putting these changes in place. The so-called conversion rate -- the percentage of students who return from their internships with job offers in hand -- went from around 25% to nearly 60% last year. In 2012, Goizueta beat every other top 25 business school in the U.S. in job placement, and average starting salary and bonuses have risen higher at the school than at any other major rival.
All told, it's made for a major turnaround at an often overlooked and underappreciated top 20 school. "I have never seen a school respond to a fairly significant change in direction, from top to bottom, as this school has," Benveniste says. "Everybody here lined up to do his or her part.
"I think we've proven over the last five years that what we add is hugely significant, because we have virtually taken the same pool and significantly changed the output. That can only happen for one reason: what has gone on in-between."

Hello everyone,
What bus/coach service is there from Islamabad Airport to New Mirpur AK? Where do I find it and how long is the journey?

I need help in organizing an itinerary to visit Harappa,Taxila, Lahore, Kot Deiji, Multan, Moenjodaro, Karachi and Uch Sharif. I don't know where to start and the sequence of the routes.

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
FFTW++ is a C++ header class for the FFTW Fast Fourier Transform library that automates memory allocation, alignment, planning, and wisdom. In 2D and 3D, implicit dealiasing of convolutions substantially reduces memory usage and computation time. Wrappers for C, Python, and Fortran are included.
OpenVRML is a VRML and X3D browser plug-in and C++ toolkit for incorporating VRML/X3D support into applications. It provides VRML97 and Classic VRML X3D parsers, a runtime, and an OpenGL renderer as C++ libraries. The renderer is fully separate from the runtime library so that users can also provide their own renderer. The OpenVRML browser is provided as a D-Bus service, and is embeddable in host applications using XEmbed. The distribution provides both a stand-alone host and a host that runs as a Mozilla plug-in.
psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language. Its main advantages are that it supports the full Python DBAPI 2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2. It was designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. The psycopg distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter.
The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialized messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols, and more.
StarCluster is a utility for creating traditional computing clusters used in research labs or for general distributed computing applications on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It uses a simple configuration file provided by the user to request cloud resources from Amazon and to automatically configure them with a queuing system, an NFS shared /home directory, passwordless SSH, OpenMPI, and ~140GB scratch disk space. It consists of a Python library and a simple command line interface to the library. For end-users, the command line interface provides simple intuitive options for getting started with distributed computing on EC2 (i.e. starting/stopping clusters, managing AMIs, etc). For developers, the library wraps the EC2 API to provide a simplified interface for launching/terminating nodes, executing commands on the nodes, copying files to/from the nodes, etc.
NeoTextureEdit is an easy to use graph-based procedural seamless texture editor. NeoTexture is the associated run-time generation library. Using continuous basis functions, it can generate arbitrary resolution images without quality degradation. Its main purpose is to produce high-quality textures for real time rendering applications that can be stored in a few kB and synthesized on application startup. But it can also be used to generate off-line images.
